Listen "Going Beyond the 4 Elements: Contemplating Water, Wind, Fire, Earth | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhatu"
Episode Synopsis
When we contemplate the 4 elements of earth, water, fire and wind, we need conviction that there exists an escape beyond these elements. Without that confidence, a complete materialist would feel very despondent when reflecting on the unreliable, unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of the elements.However, if we have faith in the Buddha's teaching that one actually can go beyond, then through contemplation & insight into the elements, consciousness can completely let go and detach from them, and experience the liberated state beyond the material world, where no flood or cyclone or earthquake or fire could ever reach.
